When I was little, I asked my dad why I had a belly button. He said that it was how mommy fed me when I was really little. Not realizing that this was before I was born (and that it was from my umbilical cord), I was confused. Then I noticed that my mom had one too, and so I thought that before I learned to eat real food, my mom lied on her back, and put me on her tummy, being sure to line up our belly buttons, and put the food from her tummy straight into mine!

I used to believe that if I stuck my finger or something into my belly button far enough it would reach all the way into my stomach.

One day I was hanging out with my little sister and saw that there was dark stuff in her belly button. I asked her what it was. She replied, "What do you mean? It's my umbilical cord!" Apparently, she had not been washing the "umbilical cord" out of her belly button for the past 25 years cause she thought the built up funk was her umbilical cord. Gross!

when my sister was born i remember her having a shrivelled up bellybutton/umbilical cord (that i thought was a raisin) that seemed to disappear after a while. i assumed it must retract into the body. i then spent the next 3 years digging for my 'raisin' that was stuck in my bellybutton. i never got it out.

When i was younger, my gradfather told me that if i was to stick my finger in my belly button and twist, my legs would fall off. I did not hardly ever touch my belly button till I was 13 years old. That was when he told me the truth!

When i was little I asked my grandmother how we get belly buttons. She told me as a joke that when your born there is an indian that pokes your stomach and he makes a belly button. Haha. i believed it for a LONG time. haha.

i used to believe that my belly button was a screw that when unscrewed all the air would come out of you and you would be flat.i still hate it when my kid tries to unscrew my belly button

I thought that the belly button was sort of like a doorway. I thought that babies came out of there, which was a common belief.

But one day when I was about four, I was eating mashed potatoes at dinner and a little chunk fell onto my belly button. I didn't feel it, but when I looked down, I panicked. "My belly button's LEAKING!"

I was once told that my belly button kept my body together and that if i 'untied' it my arms and legs would just flop everywhere like jelly

i use to beleive that belly buttons was a hole where you had a button that you wee born with and the button was the color of your birthstone so i used to try and look inside my belly button to find the left overs that the doctor forgot to take out when i was born

someone could unscrew my belly button, and if they did, my head would fall off

I was told (repeatedly by my father) that if you play with your bellybutton you would bleed to death. This has had a horrific effect on my sex life.

I used to believe that if I played around with my belly button too much, it would come undone and all my insides would fall out.
